England Looming

Wow, my trip to England is a week away. I'm really excited. I could care less about the typical tourist-y sights, I just want to take in the culture. I want to listen to their accents and guess what part of the isles they are from.

I'm keeping a notebook and a camera with me at all times, so as to chronicle my escapades. It's going to be awesome.

In other news, I just found a fantastic cover album of the Footloose soundtrack. You can hear a snippet here. The entire album is available for listening from Doveman (the artist)'s website here. The covers have a dark inception as the artist dedicated the pieces to Jenny, the half sister of his best friend. Very sweet, I know.

The covers feature slow piano piano, an ocassional drum beat, both lead by vocals sounding similar to James Blunt. While the pieces are slow and at times gut-wrenching, the entire project is an illuminating take on 80s pop. Take a listen, you won't be sorry.
